Lex Boon Lex Boon is a reporter for the leading Dutch newspaper Het Parool. He is known for his fine eye for unique stories. His report on the ‘Freezer Man’ – a Norwegian man who kept his dead grandfather in an icebox, hoping to resurrect him one day – became a national hit. He holds a lifelong fascination for pineapples.

Narrative Non-Fiction

Pineapple

How a man’s passion for pineapples took him across the world, on a journey full of spectacular stories and unexpected encounters. Lex Boon knows everything there is to know about the exotic fruit and writes about it with wit and passion. That’s because one day his girlfriend came home with a gift: a pineapple plant. Shortly after, she broke up

with him and left him alone – with the pineapple. In an attempt to get over his broken heart, Lex became obsessed with the fruit. So, when he read a news story about pineapple farmers in Thailand who dumped their harvest on the highway, he got on a plane, determined to investigate.

For the readers of Mark Kurlansky’s Salt and Cod In the Dutch Bestseller list for several consecutive weeks; 3 print runs so far!

When he arrived in Thailand, he became entangled in the morally opaque world of the fruit industry. What follows is a worldwide search for pineapple stories. Lex finds himself in a 17th century Scottish pineapple castle, at a pineapple congress in Costa Rica - where he manages to track down the inventor of the ‘extra sweet pineapple’ - and in Ghana - where he exports his own ‘less sweet pineapple’ and, against all odds, falls in love again… Pineapple is a fascinating history of – and incredible story collection about – the most exotic fruit we know. What an awesome book [...] I didn’t know that a non-fiction title about pineapples could be such a page turner. [...] Open this book and the sun begins to shine. — De Volkskrant Brilliant story, great man, wonderful book. — Het Parool Put pineapple on a pizza or a grilled cheese and you’ve got yourself a ‘Hawaii’! But why? Ask Lex Boon. — NPO Radio 2 This book is refreshing.

Arthur Brand Arthur Brand studied Spanish and History before specialising in art and antiquities. Nowadays, he is the Netherlands’ most prominent art detective. Some of his findings made worldwide news, including Hitler’s horses, a Dali painting and five paintings from the Westfries Museum. The total value of the cases solved by Brand are estimated at more than 150 million euros.

History | Investigative Journalism

Hitler’s Horses How an art detective made his biggest and most sensational discovery – and became a worldwide news item! During a visit to his former teacher, art detective Arthur Brand comes across a photograph of Hitler’s horses, two-meter high statues that Hitler once ordered to put in front of the Grand Chancellery. It appears they are being sold on the black market. Brand is puzzled: weren’t those statues destroyed in the Battle of Berlin? The ones on sale must be fakes. Surprisingly enough, however, they are not. Like a true detective, Brand starts his investigation to find out where the statues have been for the last 70 years, who owned them and who is trying to sell them on the black market for a massive amount of money. During his search, he meets leaders of criminal organisations, ex-Nazi’s, former members of the Committee for State Security, shady figures and former East-Germany police officers. They all turn out to have played a part in this mystery. After many twists and turns, Brand manages to confiscate the statues with the help of the German police. His victory becomes a worldwide news item.

We read news stories about stolen art, but know nothing of the bewildering criminal networks behind these thefts. Arthur Brand, known for the Omroep Max miniseries about his work as an art detective, knows this shady, surprising and dangerous world like no other, and his engaging storytelling makes it come alive. Hitler’s Horses is an action-packed true crime story featuring secret services, former Nazi’s, neo-Nazi’s and huge amounts of money. German TV-rights have already been sold.

Hanny Michaelis Hanny Michaelis (1922–2007) was born in Amsterdam. She graduated in 1941 and shortly afterwards she and her parents went, separately, into hiding. They never saw each other again. Hanny’s parents were arrested in 1943 and were taken first to the camp at Westerbork and then to Sobibor, where they were murdered. Shortly after the liberation of the Netherlands, Michaelis returned to Amsterdam, where she stayed for the rest of her life. For years she worked in the Amsterdam city council’s department of artistic affairs. She also published six collections of poetry. Her wartime diaries recently appeared in two volumes, both of which were enthusiastically received.

When the personal effects of one of the most important post-war Dutch poets, Hanny Michaelis, were found to include her diary from the German occupation of the Netherlands, it caused a literary sensation. Like Anne Frank, Michaelis was Jewish and forced into hiding. Inevitably, the diary is being compared with Anne Frank’s. The large number of notebooks have been published earlier in two annotated volumes: the first covering 1940 and 1941; the second 1942-45. By special request, there has finally been made a selection of those two publications: the best of Michaelis’ war diaries in 400 pages. 44

In 1942 Michaelis had to take the drastic step of going into hiding. On January 1st she noted: ‘Even the fact of sleeping in my own bed, in my own room, tonight for the last time does not fill me with the sadness I’d feared.’ She was determined to remain in high spirits; despite the tears welling up when the light was turned off on her first night in her new room, she wrote: ‘I don’t feel so very unhappy.’ In the words of the Dutch daily NRC Handelsblad, the diary balances between ‘heights of optimism and pessimistic depths’. Hanny Michaelis hid under a false name, working as a live-in maid in an author’s household, which gave her the ‘privilege’ of being able to read books, write, and – despite life-threatening circumstances – meet wellknown writers and artists. Michaelis was clearly more mature than the younger Anne Frank, but similarly, her diary became her most important ‘conversation partner’. She describes her youth passing and tells of her early attempts at literature and her terrible uncertainty about the fate of her parents, who had been deported to Germany. She eventually discovered that they were murdered in 1943. Michaelis survived, producing a unique testimony of a dark time.
